2 Within the application, use the set community command to set the base station’s
community name to “public”.
Note: The default community name is netman.
3 Repeat step 2 for each base station you want to manage.

connection is set up. For further information, refer to the section “Setting up connection
methods used to configure base stations” on page 5-32 in this guide.

• set airlink channel, as described on page 5-36 in this guide.
• set airlink downlink power, as described on page 5-36 in this guide.
• set airlink downlink bias, as described on page 5-37 in this guide.
• set vlan legacy id, as described on page 5-40 in this guide.
